I don't believe in "cleanses." I do believe that your liver and kidneys are all the cleansing that your body needs, otherwise our species would have died off a long time ago. (unless, of course, your liver or kidneys aren't working. in that case, you have bigger problems-- problems that a few days worth of juice isn't going to fix.)
I don't believe that everything happens for a reason. I do believe that humans have an amazing capability to adapt to whatever comes their way in life.
I don't believe in buying a fast car and then driving slowly. I do believe that if you're driving a Porsche and I'm passing you in my minivan, you're doing it wrong.
I don't believe in God (obviously). I do believe that amazing things happen and that there are logical explanations for all of them (even if those explanations aren't understood at the time or ever).
I don't believe that being an atheist means that my life has no meaning or that I have no moral compass. I do believe that my life has more meaning, because I know that this life is all I have and all I ever will have, and I should make the most of it. I also find the argument that people would all be murderous thieves if there wasn't a deity to tell them not to specious.
Oh I do believe in Neil deGrasse Tyson |
What do you not believe in?
Why buy a fast car then drive super slow?
ReplyDeletei was nodding my head so much as a read this! espcially about the cleanses...I dont think i could ever move to california because its seems like every one out there is doing a juice cleanse.
ReplyDeleteomg YES to cleanses. but i need to get rid of 'toxins' WTF. do you understand your body? but i keep that to myself... haha.
ReplyDeleteand hells to the yes about that fake guy in the sky. Don't believe in him either! I was raised that way, and in a different country where religion is not as important or common as it is in the US, I just think you should be a good person. I don't need a god to be the reason I don't steal or kill people. Plus science, so yeah.
YES to all of this!!! Love it. I might have to steal this idea for a post of my own some day. Also, I so wish that Indianapolis wasn't so far away, because I feel like we would hang out and knit and kvetch all the time! :)
ReplyDeleteI love this post, so no hate mail from me ;D I don't do cleanses, but I know that drinking more water helps a lot! I won't do a juice cleanse or detox. Also, YES to buying fast cars and driving slow. Ugh.
ReplyDeleteNo hate mail from here either ;) Could not agree more about the religious stuff. I might be an atheist, I might not (I really don't care enough to call it anything to be honest) but I basically share all your same sentiments.
ReplyDeleteall hail to this post because it's all true. esp the cleanse part. WHY? WHY??? don't they know that it's just a marketing scheme so they get rich and everyone else suffers??
ReplyDeletethanks for linking up!

I can see having a nice car and wanting to slowly cruise along the beach. Otherwise, I agree!
